That was exciting.

[monkeyflirt]

[Well, now he knows what all the fuss about dreams were about.]

Really? I thought it was pretty exciting too--[A beat.] Not exactly at first, but looking back on it...it's kinda funny.

[tofairypark]

Was it a memory?

[monkeyflirt]

Yup! It was when Dagger and I -- the girl in the dream -- first met.

[tofairypark]

How nice.

Why were you...kidnapping her? [that's what the dream said, right?]

[monkeyflirt]

It's a long story...turns out she wanted to be kidnapped anyway.

[tofairypark]

Really? [she blinks.] I can't imagine that.

[monkeyflirt]

Well, it's true. She wanted to get out of the castle, and we just happened to be there at the right time. Even though we got orders to kidnap her anyway.

[tofairypark]

Oh. [well, that sounds vaguely like how she got out of the cage. Granted, it wasn't precisely kidnapping...]

Who did you get the orders from?

[monkeyflirt]

Baku, the leader of Tantalus. It was a group I grew up in.

[tofairypark]

What do they do?

[monkeyflirt]

We're a theater troupe! Though obviously we were doing a little more than acting that time.

[...More like every time. It was a cover.]

Baku got orders from someone even higher than him to kidnap the Princess~.

[He obviously is getting too into telling this story.]

[tofairypark]

Theater. [she does sound interested by this. In fact, she leans slightly closer to the camera, as if she wants to hear everything.]

Will you tell me about it?

[monkeyflirt]

Oh, so theater's your thing huh? [He grins.] We've done a lot of things, and that particular play we did that night was called I Want To Be Your Canary.

We're not that shabby either, if I may say so myself. What else do you want to know?

[tofairypark]

You grew up with them - what was that like?

[monkeyflirt]

It was great! They were a little rough sometimes...and things were a little rough, too. But we were all a family. We'd take a hit for each other any day.
